Re: Vitamins and Minerals - 3 years ago
Thanks TPANDAV.I have just crawled out of bed after another night of cramps,and lack of sleep is annoying.It tends to make the day useless.Thanks you for finding out that info for me,I am not great at finding my way around a computer so this helps immensely.I will follow your advice it sounds good.by marylew - Foodlovers Non-Foodie Chat
Re: Vitamins and Minerals - 3 years ago
I brought Healtheries magnesium 400 mg High Strength. One a day.They would be fine for anyone but they were too strong for my weak stomach.They were capsules,but had they been tablets I could have halved them.I will try again but it will be a very low dose.by marylew - Foodlovers Non-Foodie Chat
Sandwiches. - 3 years ago
I have been invited to an afternoon tea in a couple of weeks time and I need to bring a plate.I thought maybe I could take sandwiches cut into fingers but I don't know if I am that confident with club sandwiches.Does anyone have ideas for say two or three fillings on two slices of bread and what spread or dressing you would add to that?I always like egg in sandwiches but don't need to use it.If yby marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk

What were you trying to do with it?by marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk
Re: Vitamins and Minerals - 3 years ago
Heather F that sounds great.Tpandav gave me the name of what supplement she takes but I haven't bought any yet as the website I buy supplements off don't sell that type.Also I overdosed obviously so I'm back to getting my night cramps.Are you able to tell me the type and strength you are using please?by marylew - Foodlovers Non-Foodie Chat
Re: Oven 'classic bake' option - 3 years ago
Hi dawn I have enjoyed this thread because I have an old Caprice double oven and I didn't really know why the bottom only had one element.Now we have all been enlightened.I decided to look online to try to read an owners manual and somehow got onto a foodlovers forum from back in 2007.It was mostly members looking for manuals for various ovens but I was amazed by how many men the forum had back tby marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk

Thanks Irene and Griz. Very good I understand now.by marylew - Garden Lovers Forum
Re: Oriental Lilies - 3 years ago
Thank you J1 and Griz.Sorry to reply so late (not been feeling too good).I am a slow learner so what I am trying to understand is about the dormant bulbs in winter.They are going to stay in their pots on the deck which doesn't get any rain.Should I water the pots once a week or will the bulbs rot?They will be warm but dry.Or do you suggest to take them off the deck and put their pots in the gardeby marylew - Garden Lovers Forum
Oriental Lilies - 3 years ago
I have successfully grown Oriental Lilies for the first time.I had two large plastic pots and kept them on my deck.I have taken off the flowering heads and left long enough stems to die down in their own time.That much I have read.I can't find anywhere what to do next.Do I stop watering them now and leave them as they are, until their next growing season? Any tips appreciated thanks.by marylew - Garden Lovers Forum
Re: Vitamins and Minerals - 3 years ago
Thank you for the link Lorna and thankyou TPANDAV for sharing the name of the magnesium that you take.My doctor warned me about the problems with diarrhea but I thought that must settle and I'd rather that than cramp.I took 400mg straight off and obviously I should never have done that.I like the sound of your capsules tpandav and the fact that you take them at night time.I will try those as sooby marylew - Foodlovers Non-Foodie Chat
Re: Vitamins and Minerals - 3 years ago
I am a little scared of magnesium for now.I had suffered terrible leg and foot cramps during the night and didn't sleep well.I went to my doctor before Christmas and told her this and she said yes you will have it's the chemotherapy tablets your on.She advised me to buy Magnesium tablets.I chose the high strength which I thought would stop the cramps faster but I got very sick.The pain in my stomby marylew - Foodlovers Non-Foodie Chat
Re: Meringue nests - 3 years ago
Thanks J1 for the pictures I have attached your recipe to them, as you can probably tell i am not great in the kitchen but everyone who contributes to this forum really inspires me to have a go at something that I haven't tried before.You are all pretty amazing thanks.by marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk
Re: Meringue nests - 3 years ago
J1 Thank you for the you tube clip and thank you PennyG.I had never made meringues before and late on xmas eve I decided to try to make J1"s recipe.I blobbed them into small rounds with 2 spoons but didn't make a presentable effort but they were perfect as in soft in the centre and a crispy shell.They tasted great but looked terrible so I didn't serve them this time.I have decided that if Iby marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk
Re: Meringue nests - 3 years ago
What is the difference between meringue nest and meringue.With one do you cut a hole in the middle and fill that with some sort of puree and cream, and the other just sandwich with a filling using two? I have never made them or eaten them but with JI passing on her recipe I am interested in trying to make some.Thanks if anyone can find the time to answer at this busy time.by marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk
Re: Salty Ham - 3 years ago
I used to always cook my own ham but always soaked it overnight in water first to get rid of the salty taste.Then I baked it in the oven.Yours is already cooked but you can surely do no harm soaking in water now.I would soak it before you glaze it.by marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk

Re: Thinking about stuffing..... - 3 years ago
Whoops,I think I might have already asked this question.I was driving into town this morning and thought about it.Typical of me not to learn the first time. Sorry.by marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk
Re: Thinking about stuffing..... - 3 years ago
I have always cooked stuffing inside the chicken. For those of you that cook it outside is it wrapped in tin foil and cooked for how long?Are your ingredients just the basic bread stuffing with mixed herbs?My stuffing never tastes like the one my mother made.Do you members use butter and one egg in it or just one of those ingredients?This is another thing I can never get right, yet so simple.by marylew - Foodlovers Food Talk
